DS Healthcare Updates Shareholders on Corporate Changes

POMPANO BEACH, FL / ACCESSWIRE / June 5, 2017 / DS Healthcare Group (DSKX) today announced that Yasuhiro Fujiwara, formerly the Chairman of the Board, has been selected as DS Healthcare’s new Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Fujiwara, will assume the new role effective immediately and will replace Daniel Khesin, who will focus exclusively on DS Healthcare’s innovation and brand architecture. Mr. Fujiwara has resigned from his role as Chairman, but will remain a Director, and will report to the Board of Directors. Elina Yuabov has been appointed as Chairperson.

Mr. Fujiwara has previously headed global markets business at Bank of America Merrill Lynch Asia Pacific and most recently led the Asia equities business turnaround at Nomura Group following its Lehman Brothers acquisition. He is a seasoned executive and has consistently demonstrated an ability to successfully lead global organizations in a crisis and in an extremely competitive environment.

The company believes that Mr. Fujiwara will establish a more effective management structure, implement financial stability and enable the growth which the company expects on the back of its cutting-edge products. Mr. Fujiwara will address the company’s need to raise capital, the operations to achieve profitability within the next 12 months, and establish a culture of customer satisfaction, product delivery and financial management. This will allow the company, under Mr. Fujiwara’s leadership, to make selective, strategic business investments to propel the company forward.

The move will enable all employees to focus on scaling the company’s business of creating, manufacturing, and distributing its innovative portfolio of technologies. Combining an efficient and effective management structure with a proprietary and innovative product portfolio will result in the fastest possible growth and the best outcome for shareholders.

“I can think of no one better to lead DS Healthcare and to institute the kind of operational excellence that is needed to scale our company and to enable more people to benefit from the many advances that we have developed. This management structure also allows everyone on our team to focus all of their energy in the area where they have their greatest strengths and talents,” said Daniel Khesin, founder and former CEO.
